Trust is built in the details

Stay open to connection, not unnecessary risk

Verification can confirm an identity signal. It cannot guarantee someone’s character or safety. Move at your own pace and keep your boundaries.

Privacy-minded verification

When Telegram Passport is enabled, we retain the phone country, a one-way hash, and Telegram ID, not the raw phone number.

Unverified accounts have a daily message cap to reduce spam and encourage serious senders to verify.

Choose a busy venue, tell a friend where you are, and arrange your own way home.

Never share money, OTP codes, identity documents, or banking details with someone you met through the app. Report pressure immediately.

Stop replying, block the account, and contact us. Politeness is never more important than your safety.
